In his book "Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry", P. L. Dawson mentions a "decree of 22 February 1802", from which he claims to have taken a list on the durability of some items of uniform and equipment of the regiments of cavalry, carabiniers and dragoons (p. 2f.). I just can't find this decree. The date according to the revolutionary calendar would be "3 Ventôse An X". Does anyone have a link to the original document? Thanks.
